Note
Enterprise accounts, and organizations owned by enterprise accounts, created after June 2, 2024, have access to the enhanced billing platform. Enterprises that participated in the public preview program also have access to the enhanced billing platform.
The page to view license usage has moved in the enhanced billing platform. See "Gathering insights on your spending."
About billing for enterprise accounts
You can view an overview of your subscription and paid usage for your enterprise account on GitHub.com. If you currently use GitHub Enterprise Cloud with a single organization, we encourage you to create an enterprise account. For more information, see "Creating an enterprise account."
For invoiced GitHub Enterprise customers, each invoice includes details about billed services for all products. For example, in addition to your usage for GitHub Enterprise Cloud, you may have usage for GitHub Advanced Security, paid licenses in organizations outside of your enterprise account, data packs for Git Large File Storage, or subscriptions to apps in GitHub Marketplace. For more information about invoices, see "Managing invoices for your enterprise."
In addition to enterprise owners, billing managers can view the subscription and usage for your enterprise account. For more information, see "Roles in an enterprise" and "Inviting people to manage your enterprise."
You can connect an Azure Subscription ID to your enterprise account to enable and pay for any usage-based billing for GitHub. For example, GitHub Codespaces usage, and for GitHub Actions or GitHub Packages usage, beyond the amounts included with your account. For more information, see "Connecting an Azure subscription."
If you created a trial of GitHub Enterprise Cloud on or after August 1, 2024, you use usage-based billing to pay for your licenses. With usage-based billing, you pay for the number of licenses you use each month. You do not need to buy a predefined number of licenses in advance. See, "About usage-based billing for licenses."
Important
If you currently pay for your GitHub Enterprise licenses through a volume, subscription, or prepaid agreement, you will continue to be billed in this way until your agreement expires. At renewal, you have the option to switch to the metered billing model. See "Getting started with the new billing platform."
Viewing the subscription and usage for your enterprise account
You can view the subscription and usage for your enterprise and download a file with license details.
If your license includes Visual Studio subscriptions with GitHub Enterprise, you can identify whether a user account on GitHub.com has successfully matched with a Visual Studio subscriber by downloading the CSV file that contains additional license details. The license status will be one of the following.
- "Matched": The user account on GitHub.com is linked with a Visual Studio subscriber.
- "Pending Invitation": An invitation was sent to a Visual Studio subscriber, but the subscriber has not accepted the invitation.
- Blank: There is no Visual Studio association to consider for the user account on GitHub.com.
